NEW YORK, Oct. The stock market
to-day WAS quiet, but firm to strong from
the opening almost TO the close, leaving
prices generally above yesterday. The
temper On the streets was quite bullish,
but lower prices from London and q few
| foreign selling orders made the early
dealings somewhat irregular. though il
was OF short duration. Western Union
was again 6 great fav0Tite, and was ger
orally strong throughout on the belief that
| the telegraph deal is now near its final
contamination All rumors which have
been circulated from time to time were
again brought forth, ara the dealings in
stocks were attended by considerable ex-
element. The rise in stocks was very
steady and without reaction ofimportance
till the last hour. Changers come Ia for
large share of attention, and a cOmpsra-
lively small decrease in St. Paui's earnings
caused revulsioD OF feeling on thos e
! STOCKS, and buying tor DoCn sides OF the
account was freely INDUCED in. Lscka-
wanna showed most strength outside Of
! the leaders, but none OF the remainder
were OF special interest. The bears made
8 demonstration in the last hour, and
succeeded in closing the day somewhat

al the opening were irregular, though the
changes from yesterdays figures were
from 10 only, IS q general thing.
! There was iairly active trading during the

was developed, Western Union and

tone throughout, subject only 10 small
